This is one view of the world. Bees often act as if they have not read the rules.
Bees will not always behave predictably, but will often act in response to factors in the environment of which we mere humans are not cognisant.
Today, the 3rd November- 14C, sunny, wind calm and inspection reveals that my own bees do not believe it is Winter. All colonies are busily collecting pollen.Some are still raising brood.
Will November bring with it weeks of cold, wind, rain and snow and cause the less prepared colonies to use up their stores? Or will these mild days in the south continue a little longer? Fascinating, aint it!
